My little Hashut - Saitani
Nimble Feets - Hakos
Punk Rock Rotters - Lars

MD3 is on!
...but my availability this week is sketchy. I think Monday 2030 is my first opportunity, then Tuesday 18+. I'll be back with more times later.
Forum was out a bit as site host updated PHP version and the current forum software doesn't support PHP 7.2. Site is now running on 5.2 which is possible until start of December when the host's PHP support drops 5.2.
So, basically I need to update the forum by December. If anyone has experience on Simple Machines Forum (SMF) or can recommend some other easy to use forum software, I'm happy to take some hints. I'm not really familiar with that stuff as I inherited the site admin from Mr B, who inherited it from Mr Slade.
But anyways, site should work now at least until December.
As to the matchday, Hakos, time to see if my guys are too stup...born to dance along to the whims of your quick ones. I'm bit limited this week due to hockey match and Fallout boardgaming, but I can offer you these CET start times:
- Wednesday 18-20
- Saturday any time after 10
- Sunday probably any time before 14
Let me know if any of those suits you, sir. If not, I won't be able to say anything definate about next week until Sunday but Tuesday/Wednesday should be OK.
well we can come back to that later.

Hmm, I have fiddled around a bit with PHP, although I have no idea about forums in general or SMF in particular. BB2Replayer site runs PHP 7.1.22, but the PHP on there is very very basic. If you have a staging area I'd be happy to take a look at current failures and exceptions to see if there are easy workarounds, but if there are systematic problems throughout thousands of lines of code, that's another matter.
Looks like SMF needs an upgrade as well: https://www.simon.me.uk/2018/725_smf-2-0-on-php-7-2 (https://www.simon.me.uk/2018/725_smf-2-0-on-php-7-2)

Sunday, starting at 10-11 should be fine.

Yo Lazer!
Hope everything is ok with you?
Do you have any preffered time to play on, sir? ;D
I'm in the middle of a moving process, moving together with my girlfriend, so my schedule is kind of fucked up right now :P
Would friday evening (20 - 21) or sunday morning (10 - 12) be an option for you?

EDIT:
What does the problem with the forum software mean in reality?
Do we need to make a completly new forum?
I have no experience in these kind of things...

We have to fix stuff in half a month, or we don't have a forum.

Not necessarily, but either that or upgrade the existing one. Hopefully it's possible to upgrade it without noticeable changes for end-users.
Hello, Barmution.
Unfortunately I am not free on Friday or Saturday this week, but Thursday at 16:00+ CET and Sunday from 15:30-18:30 CET are available. If these times don't work for you, I will see when I am free next week.

But when do we know that, if it is possible to upgrade?
Im just worried that we lose our beloved corner of the interwebz! :)
If there is anything I can do to help, i'll try my best!

I'll take a look at this on weekend. Haven't looked at the documentation closely yet, so I don't know how much upgrade work is needed from SMF version 1.1. to 2.2 (current version to my understanding). SMF seems to be pretty easy to use based on user comments but I'm not sure if the files on the host server can be used as a base for the upgrade as is. So might be that I need to setup a new forum and import in the data from here.
Shouldn't be worried about losing this beloved corner, I just renewed the hosting contract for next year. But the appearance of the forum may change depending on the changes in the forum software. All the information here should be safe.

Elfs proved just too stubborn the Undeads, so much even, that one of the more stubborn Elfs was recruited onto the Undead side. Also, another stubborn Elf sent his CV for the change of teams, but unfortunately the team necromancer was too busy (or stup...born) to handle the application.
Match started in the pouring rain and Hakos wisely chose to defend, probably knowing that rain would hurt my ball handling more than his. Well, it rained all through the first half and the only Undead player who managed to catch the ball was The Unknown Doctor who caught it from a bounce of some of the dozen or so pickup attempts made by the ghouls. This, along with the blitz on the first kickoff made it possible for the Elfs to first score a 1 turn TD while playing on defence and then slowly work his way to the ball among my fumbling players and get the second TD late in the first half.
At the end of the 1st half the rain turned into sweltering heat which made the ball handling so much easier for the Undead that they managed to take the ball away and score with 3 turns due to treeman and both wardancers taking a heat nap and the Undead getting a blitz. 2-1, Elfs get the ball. Kick goes out and ends up in the hands of the wardancer at the Line of Scrimmage. He dashes close to the goal, gets Badly Hurt by a lightning bolt which is no indication of wizardy involvement but actually a quite rare natural phenomenom which is too hard to explain in this forum but involves unspoilt maiden, pitchfork, clown hat and a sunbeam who failed his orienteering class but got the job of sunbeaming anyways because his elf works for the sunbeamery supervision offices. But that was not enough the stop the elfs, after couple of dodges and a pass it was 3-1. Still time for the Undead to go for a 2 turner, so they setup for that. Then the Elfs blitz and get. Another 1 turn TD on the defence as the Undead at this point lost all interest for the ball and just started hitting. Which resulted in some dead.
Tough match, haven't checked the luck numbers yet, but I'm guessing my ball handling will be something like -10. Still had my chances but Hakos just played too good of an Elf game and the injuries that the Undead need against agility teams came too late. Good game from Hakos, well played, man. Good luck in rest of the games!
Added reaction after checking the luck numbers: Well, I guess there's situational luck and overall luck, and I got lucky overall :)
Yes, those luck numbers are surely interesting.
I got two Blitz, you failed a million pickup's and got almost no injuries on me until the last 6 turns. So for the luck that matters it surely was on my side. Which the score result shows.
But perhaps it was a bit of a pyrrhus victory, it will cost a lot to rebuild the team (2 dead lineelfs and 1 war dancer that really needs to be replaced). And my MVP was awarded to one of the dead lineelfs. So you actually got 19 spp versus my 12 spp. And you gained one player for free with no permanent damages on the team.
So, yeah, situational luck versus overall luck, I wonder how to capture that?
In total, it was a fun match filled with unexpected happenings taking me on an emotional roller coaster ride.
/Hakos
Looking at the luck graph, it really looks like sweltering heat is a big chunk of the total luck difference. With so many rolls on that event, I think sweltering heat makes up a disproportionate amount of the total match dices.

A couple of wild moments here for sure. Thanks for the match, Napoleon. Could've gone either way in a couple of those critical moments.
-Barm
Ouch, can't be fun to lose that 27 SPP Tomb Guardian.
Yeah, Sweltering Heat did cause me quite some trouble so that could explain quite a bit of the negative luck.

Assuming you meant Tuesday, that sounds good to me, let's book it!
Update on the forum upgrade. Looking at the SMF user guide it should be possible to migrate the forum to the newer version quite simply. I'll try that within the next two weeks when I have enough time for the inevitable/probable troubleshooting needed after the migration. So don't be alarmed if the forum appears to be down at some point, if that happens, it should be OK withing few hours in any case, as I'll backup the forum before doing stuff.

Sorry for the late reply Lars.
As i've mentioned, my home is pretty chaotic right now. We have packed almost everything except my computer :P
Would a match on thursday @20 suit you?
Sorry for the wait guys!
After the match I can pack down my computer and I will hopefully be ready for next match week without any bigger delay.

That was a really whack situation: TG did a block on my Wrestle lino, came up AD BD. Napoleon didn't elect to reroll so I chose not to use Wrestle to cause a turnover. What happens next might shock you: Armor broke on the Wrestle lino but it was a mere stun, the TG on the other hand seemingly died of shame as he not only was injured but got death on both results due to decay and failed to regen to probably top the "most dead player" award list for years to come.

Good luck, hope it works out! Let me know if you need a second pair of eyes on something.
It is annoying to lose a 27SPP tomb guardian, but the way he died was quite funny. At least I had enough gold for another one.
Well now, I think that was the first time of the season Nuffle has worked against me, so I guess I can't complain. Still, a horribly frustrating match for me where it seemed like nothing at all worked. I should have a slight strength advantage as Lizards here, but I was unable to knock down anyone, while the Chorfs knocked down close to all the time.
Still, a well executed match by Saitani, and I might have lost even if the dice had been even. And given recent matches, I guess he had some good luck coming :D
Thanks for the match!

Thanks for the game :) i got really cocky with my ball carier and should have lost the ball in the second half.
Taking out the sauri and skink early on really helped me get the str advantage combined with 4 guard pieces.
But it was good to see the dice go in my favour for once after the last few horrible matches :P
